Moving Guide:

With a few handy tips and a little bit of planning, moving and storing can be a breeze. Take a look at our easy guide to stress-free moving.

6-8 Weeks Before Moving: Make a list of items you will move into storage and get estimates from a few different moving companies.

4-5 Weeks Before Moving: Submit a U.S. Postal Service change of address and provide your new address to all accounts tied to your current home. Contact utility companies to set a date to disconnect services and call ahead to have your utilities connected in your new home.

2-4 Weeks Before Moving: Start packing items you don’t currently need. If you’re renting a storage unit, now is the time to start deciding which items to store and which to move.

1 Week Before Moving: Label your boxes with directions like “load last,” “fragile,” or “load first.” Pack a box separately with items you’ll need right away when you get to your new home.

Moving Day: Check the whole house thoroughly to make sure nothing has been left behind. Make sure that you are present throughout the loading process.

Move-in Day: While unloading your boxes, make sure your items are damage-free and that everything has arrived.
